  • Classroom Essentials

    Funded Feb 24, 2025

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to our students. We were running low on everything so it was perfect timing. The supplies come in especially handy in the Autistic support class since we are constantly going through tissues and wipes.

    We are so lucky to have the support of our generous donors and cannot thank you enough for supporting us. We are lucky to have enough supplies to get us through until the end of the year.

    Thank you again! We are so lucky to have your support and we appreciate you more than you know.”

    Ms. Sweeney

  • Signing and Social Skills

    Funded Nov 15, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. We have been using the social skills books each morning during our community meeting time to help learn valuable social skills. The students love the stories and have shown some of the skills we have been addressing.

    We also love the sign language books and have been practicing some important words like help, yes, and no. The students seems to really enjoy learning the new words.

    Thanks again, I could not do this work without your support. The students and I are so grateful.”

  • New Autistic Support Classroom

    Funded May 14, 2024

    Thank you so much for supporting our new Autistic Support Classroom. The noise cancelling headphones have been such a life saver, especially with the students going into special classes. Some of our students take gym or dance and it is often very overwhelming for them. Giving them headphones has really helped them be able to attend with other students without melting down.

    Our students cannot verbally thank you but we appreciate your supoprt and would not be able to do everything without your support.

    Thanks again!”

  • New Autistic Support Class

    Funded Apr 22, 2024

    Thank you so much for your generous donation. Our team is so excited to start preparing for our new Autistic Support Classroom. This is the first time we have had an Autistic Support room since I have been here so we have a lot to do to prepare.

    Your generous donation will help us get the room set up to support the students so they have what they need. We have not been able to set up the room yet because the class is in use, but we are cleaning it out and will start it as soon as possible.

    Thank you again,

    Thank you so much for your generous donation for my students. School just started last week and students were so excited to return to school to see their teachers and friends. I was ecstatic to see them and so happy to show them our new classroom and all our new supplies.

    Thank you so much for your generous donation to my classroom project. Our students just returned last week and they were so excited to be in a new class and see all their friends and old classmates. We moved to another location so everything was new to them.

    I am so grateful for your support. I could not get my students everything they deserve without the support of Donors Chose donations. Thanks again for supporting my students and helping make the first week of school a little bit more exciting.”

Our students love to read and need a storage system so that they can easily find leveled books to read. With this storage system, students will be able to sort our books by levels and then find appropriate books to read independently. Help me create an inviting and warm place for students to enjoy reading. I think reading is so important and finding ways to make it enjoyable is important. One of my students' favorite things to do is read on our reading benches. I would like to help them find books on their level easier. This storage system is a great way to organize all our books and it will look great next to our reading benches.
